Bug #: 29790
Summary: UploadWizard: ensure that uploaded file is added to
existing categories
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: UploadWizard
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Commons administrators rely on a file being added to existing categories, so
that it can be evaluated by people watching those categories.
UploadWizard currently allows you to create your own categories as you upload.
In particular, people whose language isn't english often create categories in
their own language. This results in people creating files that don't get
reviewed.
Some Commons admins say that we should remove all ability to add categories
from the wizard, and that if they want different categories they can do it
"properly" later. That seems extreme to me and of course "properly" is being
defined as "the old way", which I don't agree with. Perhaps we should insist on
the file being added to some existing categories and only then allow it to
create new ones?
